The Treehouse at Hulili Farm - NEW

The treehouse was truly a once-in-a-lifetime stay. You’re surrounded by forest and wake up every morning to the sound of birds and the forest waking up. The hosts were incredibly nice and accommodating, and gave us free roam of the property (including fresh fruit from their trees and some time to see their sweet dog, Molly). Could not recommend this property enough. There is no A/C (and I am someone who typically runs very warm) and I never had one complaint about the temperature. The night time breeze and plenty of fans/windows made the stay very comfortable even in the heat of June. 10/10.

The perfect stay. Location gorgeous, property amazing, and hosts lovely. Wouldn’t change a thing - we are still talking about the magical treehouse stay.

Beautiful mornings. Stylish decor inside. Gold Dust Day Geckos for company outside. Not far from Hilo or Honolii for surfing.

Stayed at many vacation homes over the years and this one was amazing! All the comforts of home and just quirky and unique enough to make it something special. The setting is quiet, secluded and immerses you into the forest with the birds during the day and the frogs at night. Clean, bright and fun! Thanks for hosting us!!

Truly the most magical BnB rental experience we’ve ever had. We stayed for our honeymoon and it was our favorite stay in the week and a half we spent on the islands. It was so serene and peaceful from listening to the rain and frogs at night to sitting on the patio listening to the birds and looking out onto the ocean with our morning coffee. One of my favorite parts of the treehouse was the outdoor shower with forest views - I’ve never had a more peaceful shower experience. One of my husband’s fave parts were the skylights over the bed that let the stars pop and let the sun poke through. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Madeline and her husband were exceptional hosts, so kind, welcoming, and helpful, and the property boasts everything you need for the perfect rainforest getaway. We cannot wait to come back!!

Charming and private outdoor shower was wonderful. Very quiet and peaceful location, only wildlife sounds and rain in the rooftop.

Amazing

This picture-perfect treehouse is an ideal base for exploring the Big Island. Cozy, cleverly designed, and set on gorgeous farmland. You’ll never want to leave!

What a wonderful experience! My wife and I are the current longest reigning residents (12 days). The treehouse was so warm and comfortable, you could tell at every glance the amount of thought that went into building this treehouse. Madeline and Todd were wonderful hosts! The sound of the birds at night was something we would go for again. We had a visit from a couple of beautiful geckos on our last day. We cannot say enough what a great place tucked into the woods. Privacy was paramount for us and this place had it all. Thanks again! We plan to be back. We really enjoyed franky the duck and the hens

Such a fun spot! It has everything you need and all the comforts of home. The owners obviously put their hearts and souls into this treehouse and you can feel it. Very clean! Well appointed. Comfy beds. Yes, the back lanai bed is as wonderful as it looks!

We had a wonderful stay; a great host and very welcoming. The scenery is breathtaking and serine, perfectly nestled within the trees. The front porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and a good book. You’re a short distance away from downtown Hilo, hiking trails, waterfalls and a clear night sky. Absolutely can’t wait to plan a return visit! Thank you, Madeleine and Todd!

The Treehouse was perfect in every way! We particularly loved the sleeping options (in the loft and outdoors on the hanging bed), the comfortable mattresses, linens and pillows, the outdoor shower, rocking chairs on the lanai and perfectly appointed kitchen. The grounds were beautiful and our hosts so friendly!

We’ve stayed at Hulili before but this was our first time in the treehouse. We really enjoyed it! The property is wonderful. The treehouse is definitely a unique layout but it’s very well done. The structure itself is like a tall (vertical/stacked) cabin nestled in the trees. Lots of windows which we left open to let in the breeze; we found the temperature and airflow quite comfortable, especially at night. Note that there is a narrow/twisting set of internal stairs from the second level (bathroom/kitchenette and sitting area) to the third level (bedroom-loft). The hosts request that you leave your luggage downstairs and only take up the stairs what you need. My wife and I had no trouble navigating them with a little care; it reminded me a lot of time we've spent aboard sailboats. That said the bedroom is spacious enough and has plenty of headroom. Also note that the bathroom has a toilet and small sink; good for washing hands and brushing teeth but for larger jobs like washing your face, we just used the adjacent kitchen sink. The only shower is out-doors on the second level deck, but it's really well arranged... we loved the outdoor shower! There's a day-bed on the first level which we did not use, but it would be a nice retreat during the day in the warmer times of the year especially. As with previous visits... the hosts Madeleine and Todd are super easy to work with. Thanks again!
